county along the border of Mexico is in a
state of terror. Mexican bandits ride in
gangs through the streets of this and other
neighboring towns at night and officers of
the law dare not show themselves. Saturday
a party of bandits came to town and mailed
two letters at the postofice, one to Manuel
Guerro of Roma and the other to Senior Don
acio Garcia. of this place, notifying them that
unless they Immediately raised $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively for the bandits their
stores would be blown to atoms with dyna-
mite. Governor Ross has been appealed to
for protection, but thus far no response has
been received. The United States cavalry
located at Ringgold barracks, near here, are
of no service because of the official red tape
necessary to move troops from the barracks
on short notice. Before the order from
headquarters could arrive the town might be
sacked and the bandits safe in Mexico. Stage
travel in this section is at present danger

The Baltimore and Ohio Deal Believ

ed To Re Too Much For Him.
New YORK, Oct. ga Baltimore special
to the Times says: There seems now to be
no doubt that Mr.. Robert Garrett, the de-
throned president of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, is affected mentally His actions
since his return to Baltimore have more than
convinced his relations and friends that he
is in sad condition. Ever since his return
his relatives and friends have used the ut
most preeaution to keep the knowledge of his
condition quiet, but without avail. Whenev-
er he was in the city he was closely shadow
ed by physician, which alone gave rise to a
suspicion that something was wrong, and his
actions have more than confirmed that be-
lief
There are some who term his affec ton soft
ening of the brain, while Others say that it
is simply giving way of his nervous system
His physician, DR.. N. S. Gorter, day OF
two ago admitted that Mr.. Garrett was labor
ing under heavy mental strain, but he CDR.
Gorter) was hopeful that rest and change of
living would restore his patient to perfect
health.
Yesterday morning, as Mr. Garrett and his
party were about to board the train at the
Camden station for an extended tour in the
West, SerReant-at-Ar Johnson, of the Com
mon Council of Philadelphia, called Mr. Gar
rett aside and made remark which was not
overheard. The ex-president became very
much excited and angrily exclaimed: 'D-n
it; Jay Gould has stolen my telegraph COM
pany." His friends, perceiving that he was
losing control of himself, drew him away
from Mr.. johnson. 1t was with great diff
Guilty that they persuaded him to board the
train. He was called several times and final
ly jumped, with evident reluctance, on the
platform. He took out his handkerchief
and waved it toward his friends, and as the
train moved away he called out in stentorian
tones: "Don't let Jay Gould steal the State
of Maryland before get lack"
There is no denying that much anxiety is
entertained by Mr.. CARROTS friends. 1t is
hoped that the change of scene will be bene-
fetal. Talking telegraph to him now is like
Haunting red flag before an angry bull.

ROBERT ]. RuRpErrE,s LECTURE.

Mr.. Robert ]. Burdette, whose wittieisms
originally published in the Burlington Hawk
eye and reprinted in every newspaper IN this
country have made him famous, gave his
lecture on 'tHome'' before a large and de-
lighted audience at the Howard avenue Con-
gregational church last evening. No lecturer
speaks more huently, and everything was
said in an easy confidential fashion that at
once seized the attention of the audience and
kept it until the last word was uttered. His
pictures of home life though humorously ex-
aggerated were SO natural as to impress his
hearers with the moral of his story. This
moral may be best expressed in his own
words: "Don't bother yourself trying to
make your home happy, but see to it that
you do nothing to make it unhappy" This
truism was emphasized in such drol and
forcible manner that the speaker left his
auditors wiser, happier and better than he
found them. May success attend all his eff
forts and may the fountain of his fun never
run dry.
